    Sylwia Gruchala and K-Swiss

    So, I'm checking out the pics of her in the photo gallery and decide to...umm...do a little more research and see if there are more pics on the web. So, I see an article on K-swiss australia about her and she's all over their site. So, does anyone know if K-Swiss even makes a fencing shoe? She's a great looking woman, but it seems like an odd choice if they don't.

    She can do practically any endorsements. Watches (Rolex, Tag Hauer, Movado, Patek Phillipe), shoes (sports shoes as well as dress shoes), cars (Bentley, Aston-Martin), airlines (Virgin, Lufthansa...although it's tough to relate a polish fencer to a different country's airline, whereas it's no big deal with watches, cars, and shoes).

    Since she's doing things with Australia, does she have any plans to endorse WW products?

    If edew means the swimwear like, that smiley is entirely accurate.

    Yeah, watches and cars and stuff would make sense. I just don't know why a shoe company would pick someone in a sport they don't have a model for. There are a lot of attractive women in many sports.

    Maybe fencer endorsements are cheaper than relevant sport ones.

    IMHO, her bio sounds like it was written by a bad junior copywriter.

    I guess some things don't have to make sense.

    US based shoe company with European sounding name takes a Polish fencer for the face of their Australian advertising and puts her in tennis clothes.

    Guys.

    This is lame.

    Someone brings up an attractive fencing girl and you guys get out the tissues and lotion.

    Personally, I find Sergei Golubitsky to be just dreamy.

    My girlfriend has stated she thinks Andras Horanyi is very attractive.

    Don't discourage him when he shows a speck of maturity.

    The Euro-Mullet is a bit of a turnoff don't you think?

    How niavely vanilla is DFP. Tissues and lotion indeed. How about a Cilice and a Cat O' 9?

    Ah, he must have finally gotten a haircut. I have not seen him or any recent pictures in a while...

    I personally think Sergei should get his ass 4$$ out of Italy and head over to Hollywood. I think he can land a few roles. He looks a lot like Eric Bana in Munich. In fact, when I was watching that movie, I kept thinking of Sergei.

    Sylwia has a career in endorsements for the next 4 to 8 years. Any other up and comers? How about Jemaeyva doing a "HeadOn!" commercial?

    Laura Flessel is already a model...
